CAULIFLOWER PUREE
500g of cauliflower
10g of garlic, diced
10g of ginger, diced
3g of cumin seeds
15g of curry powder
100g of butter
250g of milk
250g of double cream
50g of mango chutney, good quality from a jar
Salt
Juice of half a lemon
MANGO RELISH
2 mangoes, flesh cut into0.5cm dice-1 stone reserved
100ml of white wine vinegar
100g of caster sugar
70ml of water
½ tsp black onion seeds
½ tsp white mustard seeds
2 red chilies finely chopped
1 red onion finely chopped
1 tbsp of coriander, chopped
GARNISH
4 purple cauliflower, raw
1 handful of cauliflower florets
1 handful of coriander cress
Vegetable oil
Salt
Method-
For the mango relish, boil the vinegar, sugar, water, reserved mango stone and onion seeds until you achieve a syrup the liquid should be reduced by half (approximately). Remove the mango stone and set aside.
Mix the mango with the chili and red onion. Add the mango mix to the hot mango stock, cover tightly with cling film and leave for 1 hour at room temperature. Chill in the fridge (you will need to bring the relish up to room temperature and mix in the coriander before serving).
For the puree, melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat and cook the garlic, ginger, cumin seeds and curry powder for 4-5 minutes. Add the chopped cauliflower, season with salt and cook for a further 5 minutes until starting to soften.
Add the milk and simmer until the cauliflower is cooked. Add the cream and simmer until the cream is reduced and thickened. Transfer to a blender with the mango chutney and lemon juice until smooth, then pass through a fine sieve.
Preheat oven to 180c/gas mark 4
Season the cod fillets with salt. Place on a non-stick, ovenproof pan over a medium-high heat and add a small dash of vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, cook the cod fillets for 2 minutes, then transfer to the oven and cook for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, place a pan over a medium-high heat and add a dash of vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, add the florets and cook until golden, then season to taste with salt and remove from the pan.
Once ready, remove the cod from the oven and add curry powder and butter to the pan. Once the butter begins to foam, use a spoon to baste the fish for 2 minutes, then finish with lemon juice, coriander and a pinch of rock salt. Leave in a warm place to rest for 1 minute.
To finish, place the fillets of cod onto plates and dot the puree around the fish. Arrange the pan fried cauliflower florets onto the fish and spoon on some mango relish. Use a mandolin to shave some of the purple cauliflower and arrange the shavings onto each plate. Finish with some coriander cress and serve immediately.

A 'fishy' dinner suggestion from the 'Great British Chefs' website.
RED MULLET AND Spinach with Caesar new potato
Ingredients-
4 red mullet fillets
100ml of rapeseed oil
500g of new potatoes
plain flour
50g of unsalted butter, softened
1 bunch of spring onions
4 tbsp of Caesar salad dressing
200g of baby spinach
1/2 lemon
Method-
Begin this red mullet recipe by putting the new potatoes in a large saucepan.
Cover the potatoes with cold water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat a little and cook gently until tender, then drain and set aside until almost ready to serve.
Make sure all the scales and pin-bones have been removed from the red mullet. Season the fillets and lightly dust the skin side with flour. Brush with the soft butter.
Put a large non-stick frying pan over a moderate heat and add a little rapeseed oil-Lay the fish in the frying pan skin-side down and press down gently with spatula.
Get a saucepan of hot water ready to reheat the cooked potatoes. Put them into the hot water for 2 minutes then drain in a colander. Return the potatoes to the saucepan and crush with a fork.
Slice the spring onions and add them to the potatoes along with the Caesar dressing. Mix thoroughly.
In a bowl, dress the baby spinach leaves with some of the rapeseed oil.
When the fish is done, season it with a little lemon juice and flaky sea salt then remove it to a tray so it doesn’t overcook.
To serve, put a medium-sized ring in the middle of a serving dish, then spoon in a quarter of the crushed new potatoes. Remove the ring and place some of the dressed spinach on top.
Gently place one fillet of red mullet on top and drizzle the plate with some of the remaining rapeseed oil to garnish. Repeat with the remaining ingredients and serve.
